This might be biased on my part but experiences like this is why I tend to openly avoid most Red Hat projects in general. There are definitely some great projects like RHEL, Ansible that are nice to work with.
Even professionally, I tend to steer clear of immature Red Hat projects.
We evaluated Keycloak but went with a vendor solution. OpenShift I believe was also evaluated at my firm and hit a dead-end.
At my company, we run our CI/CD (Jenkins) using the Docker-in-Docker paradigm to facilitate easy maintainability of the CI itself and allow us to run containerized builds.
When we shifted to RHEL 8, we attempted to move this over to Podman and it went miserably (this was back in November 2019). The main reason being is that podman-in-podman doesn't work and had bugs (at least back in Nov 2019). Maybe it fixed now but this was our experience. We ended up doing quite a bit of analysis on podman only to conclude it's simply not there yet relative to docker (ecosystem and ergonomics).
There are quite a few corner cases that docker quite simply supports out of the box beautifully that podman doesn't support or just has bugs.
I like the what the project is trying to solve by being daemonless, but this is not as simple as a drop in replacement for docker that RedHat markets it as (alias docker=podman).
We ended up sticking to docker professionally and personally, I am still using docker over podman. The ecosystem and ergonomics are just far too nice to give up over podman.
Hi, my main task this weekend was to get it fully working. I will break down the steps over this week to utilize cache layers. I will try to get it done hopefully this week or by the weekend depending on work. Thanks a lot for your feedback.
